Quoted from dirkdiggler:Congrats on the Strange World! Cool looking EM and wicked backglass.
Is it me or does Solar City and El Doraldo share the same playfield design?
It does have the same play field.

Quoted from RWH:Congrats! I played about 10 games on that pin just recently during Pincinnati and it was one of the best new pins I 've played! My brother and I had a blast, it was a lot of fun, fast and challenging too.
Quoted from rlbohon3:Agreed! My first impressions while playing it at Pincinnati were very good. Nice game!!
Thanks
I love it!! Can’t get enough.... I was at Pincinnati too. What did you guys think of the new Elvira?
Quoted from RWH:I liked it, had fun playing but, it was not as good as the JP game you got that's a fact!
I agree that JP is a lot better. Elvira was pretty fun to play. Loved the haunted house.
Quoted from mbaumle:Yup. Turned out the game was posted on behalf of the seller's mother, who was serendipitously located in NJ--a 20 minute drive from my house. She was moving and needed the game gone FAST. As a result, I was able to get a much better price on the game.
It's in really nice working shape. Almost no wear on the playfield that I can see. Cabinet is super nice too. The 2 issues that stood out were a faded translite and a chipped plastic bit above the center drop target bank. They had the game for "as long as she could remember." Could even be an undocumented HUO example, but that doesn't really mean much.
I'm just glad to have snagged it.Yes! I played the one at Pincinnati this year to death! There's a gentleman who brings his pristine example to the local shows around my area every so often as well. They're the only two examples I've ever seen, and I look forward to playing them every year. Really glad I was able to find a copy of my own. I think I enjoy playing Robo-War more than TX-Sector; though eventually I'd love to have both sitting side by side.
Looking to have a pin delivered from Freehold to southwest Ohio. Was wondering if you know a good company that deliver pins in that area?
Quoted from MikeO:Bob Cunningham.

Nothing like getting your very first pin!!! Enjoy
Quoted from Murphdom:I wonder what the average length of time here on Pinside is before someone caved and got another one after their first. I didn’t even plan on having one and now I have six, a multicade and an EM rifle.
I just bought number 5 this past weekend. Zero to Five in 1 year and a month! I definitely have a problem
Problem?
What problem?
The only problem I see is where you're going to put #6!
That is indeed a problem
Quoted from Pin-Pilot:I don't see a problem... other than having ONLY 5. LOL
It’s a good problem.

Some are immune. I think all the years Ozzy Osborne ate bats he’s probably good to go!
Quoted from bob_e:IF you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME
a truck with 8 games in it.... NOT ESSENTIAL
a rental = more contact with people
How many stops to collect all 8 games ??? ALL were porch pickups right.
How mane fuel stops along the way ??? contact with pump handles, keypads on credit card machines,...
To stop the spread of this highly contagious virus we all have to STAY THE F AT HOME.
for those who believe they are immune, I will let them spend 2 weeks on a Chinese ventilator.
He just called himself an ASS LOL
There are threads on pinside for those who enjoy consuming themselves with the virus. It’s nice to come here and not hear about it.

Quoted from Huntsolo:Zack also hooked me up with a JP that arrived today. Wow what a game . It truly was a great buying experiance . On top of the pin Zack is sending me a stair climbing Escalera dolly, big wheel kit included. It arrives from California Tuesday. The guys at work will be so happy no more lifting water heaters and boilers up and down stairs.
What is the cost of the Escalera? 3k?
Quoted from Tkaye:100% endorse the power mate stair lifter. Use it all the time. Just brought this home yesterday and used it to pop it down stairs. Had Maiden Pro, sold it and bought this IMDN Pre. Love this game...[quoted image]

Quoted from Coindork:Devil King is a pretty interesting one for sure.
From what I can gather it's the first pinball machine made by Tecnoplay after they bought Zaccaria out of bankruptcy.
Some people have called this a conversion kit, but its not a conversion kit in the traditional sense as it has a dedicated cabinet.
Basically Tecnoplay wound up with left over Mystic Star play fields from the Zaccaria bankruptcy and used those to building these as a dedicated machine.
For all practical purposes it's the same game and play field as Mystic Star, however they designed their own cabinet and back glass to release it as a separate game.
Basically a Zaccaria game, which is basically a Bally game.
The back glass is a bootleg straight up rip off of the French Space Rock band Rockets and is from the cover of their album Galaxy (at least the god part).
These guys were some trippy Space Rockers.
They all shaved their heads, painted themselves silver and did stage performances as aliens (and this was back in the 70s)
Not sure yet where they got the neo futuristic city art from, but I'm sure its off something like a rock album or science fiction movie of that era or slightly earlier.
Some of the Italian and Spanish pins of this ear are notorious for blatantly using art from elsewhere.
Pretty interesting stuff, I'll take some photos of it when I get home from the office.
We're going to be switching it over from 220 this weekend and start fixing the few minor issues it has.
Hopefully when shows start happening again it will make it to a couple. [quoted image][quoted image]

Back in the early 2000's, they had a nice CFTBL. I can also remember a Mata Hari there in the late 70's.
Pisanello's is THE BEST pizza in Bowling Green.
There is Pisanellos in my area just south of Dayton. Franklin Ohio

3B1F3F0F-0289-4184-8521-CD4CED6756D9 (resized).pngQuoted from RandyW:I was referring to the playfield and cabinet itself. I guess I should have been more specific. Most ST's I see, have had major touchups, (usually bad) or decals laid on them. The bats are new, I put new bats on almost every pin I shop. The posts are not new, I just cleaned them all. The plastics, I can't say. They were dirty and warped when I got the table, but clear. I cleaned and flattened them out. So no, this has not been restored. Just properly shopped out.
From now on you have to be very clear on what you say.... it’s a new world now and if slip up.....shame on you! Damned if you do damned if you don’t
Quoted from gdonovan:Words have meaning.
"non restored" and you see a bunch of new looking parts.. I feel compelled to ask.
They look like CPR plastics, the tell is the color of the blues and some of the text work.
It’s all good! You did say,” not to be a jerk” in your post. So your intentions must have been good. 
It just sounded a little like something said from pinside police. I’m sorry, I’m new here and didn’t realize that you have to be very accurate when making a statement. Proper context is important! Maybe if it were an Ad to sell. Sorry, just my opinion. It seems it’s okay to voice an opinion on here. So we should be all good now
Quoted from gdonovan:Its a decent looking Trek, better starting point then the one I restored!
I wouldn’t mind having one. I’m out of room unfortunately. I am really drawn to the artwork. I might have to settle for a nice backglass if there are any out there for sale
Quoted from AUKraut:CPR sells the original and "corrected uniform" style repros.........
Thanks! I’ll look into that
Quoted from snyper2099:Found a decent one after 4 years of looking. Had a shorted capacitor, bad lamps PIA, bad 5101, and one faulty connection.
[quoted image]
Looks good....congrats!
Quoted from Blknblumark:Congrats on the find! Hard to say no to any machine for the price the guy was asking. I was a little down on Sunday when the guy told me someone else got these. Now that I see your clearer photos I realize these were way past my comfort level.
You should hear what Hazmat actually paid for them
Quoted from Billc479:Clogged- I recommend using thick gloves, put the pieces into a large cardboard box. After that, vacuum the entire playfield, empty contents into a bag and put into the box.
Next, wad up slices of bread and dab - do not drag, onto the playfield to pick up any tiny pieces of glass shards the vacuum did not get.
If possible, remove the playfield, turn it upside down, and let gravity do its thing.
Don’t forget to remove the apron.
Good luck. At least nobody has been hurt (hopefully).
Bread! That is awesome
Quoted from cottonm4:I thought that was cool, too.
It reminds me of the time I discovered the bread trick when soldering copper piping
Quoted from cottonm4:I'll bite.
I'm never too old to learn.
How is bread employed in the arena of soldering pipe?
Yes! What RWH said
Quoted from albummydavis:It’s been known to be used to remove dirt off of comic book covers.
Seriously.
Man!!! BREAD....it has the potential to solve all Mans problems!!
Quoted from gonzo73:Brought my first Stern of any era home last night. Apparently it was owned by a prop house for tv/movies, then ended up in an old lady's house. Anyway it's near mint, the last owner replaced all boards, installed led pinscores, and all led lights. All the things I usually do with my solid states. So there's nothing to do but play it.
It's one of the great early solid state pins, simple, fast and fun. Great spinner, mid field slings on the sides, no slings at the flippers, witch is refreshing. It's funny though I got it next to Spectrum and my friends Haunted House, not one of them with traditional slings.
Thanks to my friend Jay for offering the game to me .

Get out and play some of these EMs or you can look at the top 100 for EMs here on pinside to give you an idea of what EMs are popular on the top 100 list there are solid state pins besides these more modern pin that are really great pinball machines.

Quoted from Colsond3:Now for the drive home...
[quoted image][quoted image]
Was beginning to worry about you! You were MIA on this thread for a bit 
I’m amazed to see how many pins you get
Quoted from snyper2099:Here's 5:
1. Manufacturers factory defaults for EM games was always 5 ball, for SS games it was typically 3 ball. This is more of a gameplay/industry design standard, not an operator's standard. The industry changed in the late 70's and manufacturers strongly suggested 3 balls was a better setting because the "new" SS games focused more on skill and less on luck. Do you know many EM's with consistently long ball times?
2. Reduced wear on playfields.
3. Reduced the frequency that a game needs to be serviced or cleaned.
4. Shorten competition/tournament times.
5. Trying to be a better player. You can reduce game time while trying to still achieve the same goals/score.
To say it's the only reason is extremely shortsighted.
Nearly all operators these days are lovers of pinball and do whatever they can to get people to play more pinball. To suggest operators just cared about making more money by putting games on 3 balls is fairly silly. (#6) A lot of operators didn't even know how to change those settings in the 70's and 80's! They just left them the way there were when they turned the game on from the factory.
Regarding today's op's, two very good pinball friends of mine operate games and barely break even. Making money is typically not the first goal, it's typically getting new machines in rotation for patrons to experience.
Getting sick of people suggesting exactly the opposite of this. Pinball times have changed and old timer's pinball op standards are no longer profitable.
Also tired of people suggesting that a thread being derailed is the most important thing here. If you don't care and don't want to learn something about pinball, maybe you shouldn't be here.
If you are referring to me, “not caring”. What I don’t care about is reading arguments about trivial things. It seems there are a few pinsiders who get in more arguments than others. I saw this coming. Maybe some of us need to relax and take uneducated statements with a grain of salt. I have a passion for pinball, however I do not have a passion for drama. I wasn’t trying to be confrontational but was just wishing for a great peaceful place to share my love for pinball

Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:It's bad and they know it's bad because they only included pics of the head online. I drove 20 miles to look at it. I wouldn't have bothered if I had known there was an active rat's nest trapped under the glass lol
I do like Isochronic_Frost idea of offering $5 and burning it on the spot.

Careful putting glass directly against concrete (without a barrier of some sort) -- it would be a pity to shatter those!

Quoted from JethroP:Just unloaded this AbraCadabra. Been on my wishlist for a few years. Previous owner had for 30 years, the last 20 years was wrapped in a blanket in storage warehouse. The cabinet, playfield, and backglass are pristine! Absolutely beautiful!

Quoted from undrdog:Just brought him home from an estate sale right in my neighborhood. Everything seems to work, although I haven’t confirmed the scoring on the rototarget yet.
First pin that was playable when I got it home! It came with a bucket of tokens. Jackpot!!

Quoted from G35R6:Any guesses?
This is the White Water that I was supposed to be bringing back home today.
After almost a month and 49 email exchanges, the seller and I agreed on a price and date for pick up. Three days ago he informs me that his neighbor just found out that he was selling it and "twisted his arm to sell it to him".
What's most amusing is that two weeks ago he came to me crying about a lack of "honest people" after he got screwed over by a guy selling him a pin who backed out of the sale and sold it to someone else for more money.
Oh well. Still cruising the midwest with a empty car and a pocket full of cash in search of a White Water. (Or ACDC, or MET, or GoT)
And a lesson learned from what CrazyLevi always says - have cash ready and get there as fast as you can!

Quoted from Billygrippo:Yeah. There’s not many folks into pinball in Hawaii. No barcades at all. They don’t come up for sale often, but you can usually get a pretty good deal when they do.
Kauai Island Brewing has about 8 pins upstairs. Great food and beer!
Quoted from Colsond3:Wanted one since I got in the hobby. Creepy. Cooky. Added to wish list May 2017.
Moved from wish list to collection....today.

Quoted from jrpinball:Like, "I do" not want you to bring home any more pinball machines, but "I do" want some new living room furniture!
Nah, from what I can tell, I think she's going to be a very pinball loving wife!

Quoted from McDoom:I really wanted this game for a while and my urge to own it was reinforced when a good friend of mine told me a story of how this was his first game and how much he enjoyed playing it with his family over the years. From that point forward, I knew this game was something really special.
I recently placed a pre-order for the 2.0 conversation kit however, I was planning to cancel it due to not being able to find the game at a reasonable price when suddenly my friend said there was one for sale.
I sprung into action right away and was able to purchase it from a wonderful family.
Welcome to the Fun House.

I don’t borrow trucks. The owners really don’t like loaning their trucks out. They might be nice about it but deep down they wish they didn’t have a truck Lol
Quoted from Flash71:Couple new ones to add to the collection ! 16 hours round trip from NY to NJ then back home to Buffalo. Gotta downsize my pin hauler trailer. 8 miles to the gallon racked up a $500 gas bill. Thanks sleepy Joe! Worth it though.

Back to our regular scheduled programming
Quoted from bigguybbr:Weird Al came…
nothing?
really?
Since you are missing the point he took your weird Al came message as weird Al “came”aka climaxed and made a joke about correcting you. No joke at anyones expense. Just some crude humor.

It is an older replacement. Not sure if it’s Illinois or not. I guess I’ll have to live with it.

Here's how it sits in my garage now on the dolly And I cut up the lid of the box and made some protective areas. This picture is on the dolly that I won't be using. I'm going to go get that appliance truck with the stair climbing apparatus, the wider blade in about an hour. See picture.[quoted image][quoted image]
New sterns are pretty lightweight. Should go smoothly. Unless your landing is like mine.
I have to take the head off…. Adds to the joy of getting a new pin LOL
Quoted from ExSquid:Oof!!! How is it taking the head off? easy? I've always said I would do it from now on to make it easier moving into the house but I'm always nervous.
Like dirkdiggler said. Pictures and mark location of connections if needed. It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Modern Sterns are pretty simple. JJPs and older games require a good bit more work.

Don't really think it matters that much what the middle pin is though with those other two that is one heck of a haul with just the other two.
Looks like creature from the Black Lagoon Austin Powers and twilight zone
Quoted from CoachBacca:Isn't that the star and celestial gas thing at the back of a STTNG, nebula or something? I thought the cab for TZ was just the lettering and some other images.
Definitely Austin Powers though now that I looked that one up.
You’re right I was picturing this part of TZ
